AB  - [Purpose] The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships among vision 
      problems, developmental levels, upper extremity functions, and qualities of life 
      of children with cerebral palsy (CP). [Subjects] The study included 32 children, 
      aged 4-15 years, diagnosed with diplegic type CP. [Methods] Hand function was 
      evaluated using the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and the Bimanual 
      Fine Motor Function (BFMF) scale, and the severity of CP was assessed using the 
      Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). The developmental and mental 
      capabilities of the children were evaluated using the Ankara Developmental 
      Screening Inventory (ADSI) or the WISC-R test. An oculomotor examination was 
      conducted for all patients. [Results] Positive correlations were found between 
      GMFCS and BFMF, GMFCS and MACS, and MACS and BFMF scores (r=0.636; r=0.553; 
      r=0.718, respectively). Significant correlations were found between upper 
      extremity function, the severity of CP, the quality of life, and the general 
      developmental level. There was no significant correlation between ocular 
      disorders and clinical characteristics. [Conclusion] GMFCS, MACS, and BFMF may be 
      useful for defining the functional status of children with CP, as they are easy, 
      practical, and simple classification scales that conform to each other.
